Hi!

Finally I have some news on these things from Jamex. Just received
a friendly mail saying that Jamex Holland make these airbox
replacement jobs for the Euro Spec 80 and 90 4 and 5 cylinder cars.
They don't think it will fit the 200 I have.

Here is some info from the e-mail:

What I'd  like to know is how different is the air box for the
80/90 and the 5000/100/200?

I am going to contact Ivor at TAP by e-mail to get the price on that
airbox cone conversion of his. From the images on the TAP site it looks
like a lot of the box volume has been removed and more and better
flow has been put into the design.
